Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Documentation: ABI: document /sys/devices/system/cpu/
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:34:35 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091019213435.32729.81751.stgit@bob.kio> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091019212740.32729.7171.stgit@bob.kio>
This interface has been around for a long time, but hasn't been
officially documented.
Since I wanted to extend the ABI, I figured I would document what
already existed.

+ the state:
+
+ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/$cpu/online
+
+ A value of 0 indicates the CPU is offline. A value of 1
+ indicates it is online. To change the state, echo the
+ desired new state into the file:

+ echo [0|1] > /sys/devices/system/cpu/$cpu/online
